Question

I lost the remaining week of my contraceptive pill, what do i do if i want to continue on with a new pack??

Answer 1

Speak to your doctor or pharmacist. Is the last week the placebo pills? In which case it doesn't matter you can either start a new pack now or just wait 7 days and start it.

Answer 2

If the remaining week pills are placebos, just wait the 7 days and start a new pack then. If the remaining week pills are not inactive, then you should get another pack of pills and take that remaining week of the new pack. Call your doctor to make sure this would be okay, it depends if you are on a tri-phase BC pill or mono-phase.
